Mulberries.

These are new to Olivia so she picked a few before the birds got them.

Daisy.

Daisy came into our lives a week ago, I was in a state of depression over Cubby and difficulty sourcing a muffler, as well as a little crack in the windscreen, on top of my health being a bit slow to pick up left my defences down for Daisy to come into my life.
In Malaysia and the rest of the world this model is known as the Saga, so naturally it had to be different here and called a S16. Looking online found plenty of boy racer videos on Youtube but in reality I saw it as a car for an old fella who wants something easy to service, as well as something that points well and has a bit of spirit.

Cactus bearings.

Hopefully replacing these bearing will get my saw working again, although I'm dubious about it being worth the bother. They're common ones, a 6201 and 6203, easily sourced cheaply from China or with difficulty and expensively if shopping personally, margins by bearing suppliers are legendary and would likely be 10x the China price plus would drain half a tank of fuel finding them.
Being able to shop on-line is a blessing.

Flag bird.

I spotted this bird the other day that has a sparse head of hair like mine, anyway I couldn't help but think of its resemblance to our Aboriginal flag, a flag I'd be quite pleased about if it replaced the official colonial relic.

The run of disaster continues.

My SZ-16 Olympus which has become a real favourite of mine and takes most of the piccies I post here, took a tumble onto good old fashioned hard concrete this morning. I'd placed it upon one of our bins so it was handy to me but poor Olivia didn't see it when she opened the lid, bugger.
I've ordered a replacement screen from eBay for only $10 and hope it cures our angst. The camera still works OK but is fairly useless when you can't compose the scene decently.

Usual disaster.

The active pin of my table saw broke off and after much searching I found a replacement plug I've had here for many years, but naturally I had another problem, the last flood must have reached the motor and seized it. Much more work to do if I wish to restore it.

Pretty.

Officially Spring started today so here's a cheery photo.
The standard seasons don't have as much meaning for us as they do to those in more temperate parts of the world, if we were much more tropical we wouldn't notice.
